      Great pay and remote work, but contractors bear the load

      Pros

      Great pay, remote work, and management played games with us to build connections

      Cons

      Contractors pick up slack for full time employees since there's unlimited PTO there's no incentive for actual employees to come to work. Contractors did the bulk of work load which was stressful

      Leaders make or break an organization

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Remote work - Great people amongst the rank and file employees - Excellent benefits, and a supportive culture - The opportunity to be an independent voice on stocks. You can speak your mind on a stock, even if it conflicts with what other members of TMF say.

      Cons

      - Leadership set a goal in 2019 to reach $1 B in revenue. The company tried to achieve this by selling more and more subscriptions, without expanding the research team. Diligence declined. Eventually the stocks recommended did as well. TMF has never really recovered from the reputational loss. - Leaders are chosen based on loyalty, not competence. All leaders basically carry out Tom Gardner's orders, no matter how bizarre or destructive they are. Independent thinkers are gotten rid off.
